I even asked if he would just include the replacement with a new order, My choice but in the future I will no longer purchase from them.
and since I had 2 more Merlins, and 2 RDAs in my cart it has already cost him more then the $2.45 I have to eat.

I was thinking of doing the same. My deck works ok but is very airy fully closed. Luckily it's right where I like it fully closed.

Was going to ask if I ordered two more if they'd hold them till a replacement deck arrived and ship it all at once. Sounds like you went that route and got denied.

I can understand their frustration with what I can only imagine is a high number of returns / replacements. Especially following the Boreas oring fiasco.

I guess I'll go the "wait a bit for the price to drop on fasttech and hopefully by then augvape will have their .... together" route.

Gotta hand it to Roxy. This is my new favorite tank. Sucks that QA seems to be missing at Augvape.

Replacing the decks is as much as any other manufacturer would do, more then many, I'd say they have.

Most vendors take care of customers without adding fees, @1000 piece price these things wholesale under $10 If Subtank Supply hasn't already considered the cost of screwups into the profit then they should have. Personally I feel asking me to pay an additional cost to get what I already paid for is not the best choice.

Hell even fasttech will ship you your replacements for bad items without charging . I'd also be surprised if Eciggity charges to fix this issue like Subtank has chosen to do.

I'm not happy at all about the $2.45 I'm expected to send to SubtankSupply to just get what I paid for. The dollar amount isn't bothersome, but the customer service is. I even asked if he would just include the replacement with a new order, My choice but in the future I will no longer purchase from them.

I had a problem with my base. Purchased from Ecigity. Sent an email, they shipped the base immediately. No charge. Expected to be in mailbox tomorrow.
Great customer service. I was going to buy from STS but chose Ecigity. Glad I did.

Yes, eciggity has been great for me as well, I chose Subtanksupply for two reasons, first was a little less time to receive the package, and not as important at the time I saved a couple bucks. The additional cost incurred by charging me to ship a replacement part so I get a Merlin which works as its supposed to negates the small savings.
Next time I'll take the couple extra days in transit. I'm pretty sure if I had purchased from Eciggity I would have already had my fixed parts at no additional cost. As it stands right now I have no ETA as to when I'll even get my replacement, when I asked for an ETA I was told "I hope they shipped yesterday"

When asked if it could be added to a new order to save both of us a couple bucks I was told he couldn't do it, and even if they had the parts in stock I would need to pay the $2.45 to add it to a new order. Pretty lame of a vendor if you ask me.

Not sure what has happened. I ordered a Boreas from STS when they were first released. It got lost in shipment. I contacted STS, and they sent another one the next day at no charge. Got it a couple of days later.

I bought my first Boreas from them as well, it had issues, they took care of it, I got my replacements a little on the slow side, but was not charged for them. That is the way it should work, unfortunately it seems to have changed. My last order I placed from SubtankSupply I was confident that if issues arose they would be taken care of in a positive manner. I recommended them with no hesitation to others looking for supplies I knew they had. My confidence in them as a vendor is no longer valid.

My two Merlins should be here tomorrow, hopefully I have no issues with them. I can guarantee that it will not be $2.45 to send new bases to Canada if need be.

I too have had product replaced from online retailers at no cost. Eciggity had to resend a complete order no charge that disappeared and never left the docks in Hawaii once.

I agree with ccwaters that we should not have to pay for something that was already purchased and expected to be working. STS needs to get reimbursed from Augvape for stock and shipping.

I remember the guy who ordered it said they were really happy dealing with Augvape through Alibaba & took only five days to the UK think it came out to $20 each with the shipping.

Unflavored??? Why vape unflavored? I vape 2 different tobacco liquids for the taste only. Would never want to vape without a flavor.
Why vape unflavoured?, heres 3 reasons right off the top of my "i vape 99.9% unflavoured" head

1) It vapes right away, no steeping
2) It stops you chasing miracle expensive unicorn tears flavours that cost the earth and dont deliver
3) Its satisfies the cravings in the most simple way known to man

you could try it, save yourself a bucketload of money spent on things you either toss or take up room in a drawer until you toss them. Ive been vaping unflavoured pretty much non stop for over a year...my first convert who smoked for 40 years, tried flavour after flavour as newbies do, then settled down into 6 months (so far) of nothing but unflavoured, after smoking 40 years.

I'm hoping my replacement base will be here tomorrow. If I order another Merlin, it'll be from somewhere other than STS.
I understand if on principal no one wants to order from them. I had to pay the $2.45 too. But if someone does want to, be assured he has weeded out the bad ones, he told me he spent 3 days at the warehouse going through each package one by one. Taking out the bad ones even pulled all-nighters to sort them all & get a tally so Augvape can send replacement decks to him.

Where can I get some of this "unflavored" juice to try?
